McDonald’s brawl in Ottawa features punches, inexplicable baby raccoon produced from sweater

The .gif has all the elements of an Internet sensation: A McDonald’s restaurant, a multi-man brawl and a baby raccoon.

That was the scene at the McDonald’s on Rideau Street captured in a video originally posted in December 2014, which is quickly gaining steam on social media after a clip of the video was re-posted as a .gif on the Reddit Ottawa page Monday.

The original video is 1:43 long, and features more than half a dozen men yelling, kicking and taking roundhouse swings at each other during a brawl in the area where people line-up to order food.

The scuffle alone is noteworthy enough. But at the 38 second mark in the video, a man off to the side of the fight pulls out of his sweater what appears to be a baby raccoon, and briefly holds it up like infant Simba on Pride Rock in The Lion King.

Several seconds later, the man, a cigarette hanging from his mouth, is seen with the raccoon tucked safely back into his sweater.

But then 30 seconds later, the raccoon is produced again in the far left side of the frame.

Curiously, the video only garnered around 68,000 views — much lower than one would expect for a McDonald’s brawl featuring a baby raccoon.
